VIDEO: Someone at Astros' Spring Training Was Banging a Trash Can During Batting Practice
By Karl Rasmussen
The Houston Astros have a long way to go until they can truly shake the controversial sign-stealing scandal which has dominated MLB headlines this offseason. Well, it seems they aren't safe from backlash even at their own Spring Training facilities. Someone in attendance on Monday filmed themselves banging a trash can during the team's BP in a hilarious clip.

Naturally this fan chose to bang the trash can ahead of Carlos Correa, Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman's batting practice session, taking yet another shot at the trio of Astros' stars.
You can see Correa take a glance over at the trash can, and we'll be hard pressed if he didn't mutter "curveball" under his breath.
Drone flew overhead during #Braves batting practice, briefly hovering low enough that it could be heard, drawing attention.

Tyler Flowers: "Is that one of ours?"
Reporter: "No, it's the Astros."
Players and fans alike have taken jabs at the Astros this offseason, and this one individuals exploits are just the cream of the crop, so far at least. We're hoping there's far more of these jokes to come.
